The New Indiana Senate

The senatorial deadlock was broken on
the 2nd by the election OF David Tur-
pie democrat, the vote standing
Turpie rs, Harrison ~ in the
senate Turpie received 80, Harrison Is; in
the house Turpie A, Harrison so. What
further action, if any, III the interest OF
Republicans has not been made known. 1t
is understood, however that the Repub-
lican members will hold a Joint convention
and cast their ballots for Harrison, thus
making up formal case for present tiop
to the United States senate.
David S. Turpie has been for many
years a prominent lawyer OF Indiana,
served two terms as Judge OF the White
county court OF common pleas and
contested thai congressional district
three times defeated with Schuyler Colfax,
at one time being defeated by only 246
votes. In 1861, when Jesse D. Bright was
expelled from the senate for treason, Gov.
Morton appointed Joseph A. Wright to fill
the vacancy. The Indiana legislature of
1868 was democratic and when it met
elected Mr.. Turpie to fill out the unex-
pired portion OF Mr.. Brights term
At the same time Thomas A. Hendricks
was elected for the long term. Elected to
the legislature in 1875, Mr.. Turpie was
chosen speaker, which was the last official
position he held until appointed United
States district attorney last year in place
Of John Lamb, who resigned to avoid re-
lection by the senate. After Turpie's ser
vice in the legislature he was appointed on
the commission to codify Indiana's laws.

The War Fever Rising in Europe.

tached to his article than by the general
public, because it is remembered that the
same paper, in 1875, published u similar
sensational article which was entitled
"war in sight.
The New York Sun publishes an editorial
headed, The War Fever Rising" in which,
it says:
Why should leading article in q BerlinI

in question, the Berlin Post, is Bismarck

Scared by a Huge Panther.

A dispatch from Olean,N. Y.,to the
New York World says:
For the past two weeks the inhabi-
tants of the secluded little village Of
Humphrey have been terror-stricken
by the almost nightly visits of huge
panther. The hamlet is situated in q
valley completely surrounded by
mountains covered with dense forests.
"A large number of sheep, hogs and
calves have been destroyed by the
panther, and several persons narrowly
excaped with their lives. A farmer
named Whitney was imprisoned III q
small outbuilding one cold night and
nearlg frozen. The panther stood.
guard at the door while devouring q
sheep. Whitney's family heard his
cries for assistance, but dared not
venture out of the house. A church
congregation which had assembled at
the school-house one evening last
week was imprisoned for three hours
by the panther. All che male inhab-
itants plucked up courage last Tues
day, and armed with ancient shot
guns, ana rusty rifles and various
other weapons, and led by u mongrel
pack OF dogs, they haunted the
panther. The dogs discovered the
beast in q ravine in the dense woods,
three miles from the village. He took
refuge III q tall hemlock, but not before
he had killed two of the most courage
Gus ours. Then from safe distance q
volley OF musket balls and buckshot
was fired into the tree where the
animal was partly hidden from sight.
Some of the balls took effect, and with
a scream OF pain the panther fell to
the ground and soon expired. He was
a monster, measuring over eight feet
from head to tail.

Anew days ago there was introduced
in the house OF representatives a
bill to provide for the creation of a
civil pension list, and such legislation
was not then for the first time pro-
posed. 1t provides that persons in
the civil service OF the government
who have served a period of thirty
years or more shall be entitled to be
retired with pension. Il is not at
all likely that any such measure could
pass congress, but the introduction
and advocacy Of such a measure is q
source OF anxiety to the people, who
are, as a rule, utterly opposed to the
engrafting Of monarchical practice
upon our republican form of govern.
ment. The doctrine of the fathers OF
the republic, which is just as sound as
ever, is that of paying public servants
lair prices for their services, and then
let the servants save therefrom what
ever they can, as other people do, if
so disposed.

The New York World is informed
that the navy will soon complete draw
ing OF q contract with the Pneumat-
ic Dynamite Gun Company of New
York for the construction OF q dyna-
mite steel cruiser to be completed by
June l. Ii this vessel is all that is
claimed for it, then the harbor of New
York will be safe from any foreign
fleet. The work on the vessel will be
fastened on account of possible COM
plications between this country and
Great Britain. Congress authorized
the construction OF this vessel last
year, but very little has been said
about 1t, and that the department
has completed the arrangements for
the building is not generally known.
The vessel is tc carry three dynam-
tie Guns, each capable of throwing
with accuracy 200 pounds OF dynam-
lite distance of one mile. If the guns
are made Iof that capacity they will
be capablSof throwing 400 pounds of

Measurement of Fish Eggs.

In the current number of The angler,
Seth Green discourses as follows on the
measurement of fish eggs in quantities:
How few people realize how many
| spawn or fish a million is. We are accus-
toned to read of this or that hatchery
turning out so many millions of white
| fish. shad, salmon. or speckled trout, as
tho case may be, with but little thought
of how many true million actually is
In conversation with an acquaintance
some days ago, while speaking of the
number of millions of spawn we had
laid down in the Caledonia hatchery,
l was asked how many bushels of
spawn l supposed we had, and if I
knew how many spawn it took to make
a bushel. replied that l had never
| thought of the matter in that light, but
as it would be quite interesting to
know l would ascertain. Accordingly
l have had few estimates made with
some of the different varieties of spawn
we have at the hatchery. We began
with the salmon, the spawn of which
"VAO obbdIucu 1IOlA LdkS huEUH. L
mention this fact as the size of the
spawn obtained from the fish caught in
the different lakes d ffers slightly; as.
for instance; those taken from the Lake
Ontario salmon trout are trifie small
er than the Lake Huron trout eggs.
We counted q quart, exact measure,
and found they would run 5000 to the
quart, and, taking this as a basis. there
would be 1872, 900 to the bushel. which
would make just 5-24 bushels of
spawn to the million. The young FRY
when Matched out would require 200 IL.
gallon cans to move them, supposing
tina 5000 were placed in can, which
is about all that can be transported any
distance safely in can of that size.
Brook or speckled trout, the spawn of
which are considerably smaller, are
found to measure IL, 700 to the quart
or 374. 400 spawn to the bushel. or 9
l57-l34 bushels to tho million. When
atched it required 1917 cans of the
ve-namcd capacity to transport
en-, figuring at 5000 to the can.
Whitefish eggs have est mated at 34,-,
400 to the, quart, and at this rate there
would be 1,100,S00 in hushel Shad
eggs are about the same size as the
VIII fetish, and l should estimate them
at about the same. As 10000 young
fry of either the whiteiish or shad IS
about all that can b safely transport
ed in II or Is gallon can, it would re-
quire ITO cans to carry 1000, 900 Of
either of these kinds,

Members OF congress call attention
to the fact that this government has
lust cause OF otfense in a bill lately en-
acted by the Canadian parliament,
and which has become a law through

The Anarchist Spies Mari les Miss Van Zandt.

Chicago Telegram Feb. 1.-The announce
ment is made that August Spies and Miss
Nina Van Zandt have been married by
proxy, the groom being represented by his
brother. When Sheriff Matson issued the
order to the officials OF the county Jail
hot to admit Miss Van Iandt to
see Spies, it was enormously thought that
the matter was settled. The law about
marrying by letter and marriages by proxy
was looked up, but nothing was found ex
Cept in regard to a marriage by proxy.
This was decided upon, and Justice Engle
hardt in the town of Jefferson, who
had denounced the verdict OF the anarch.
ist trial in public speeches, was consulted.
tie gave it as his opinion that mar
riage by proxy would be binding in law, if
the proxy was made out in due legal form.
He was commissioned to draw up d form
of a proxy, and spent considerab BILE time
in making it conform to what he
thought was the law in the case. The docu-
ment was ready last Friday. Early Satur-'
day Miss Van Zandt and Gretchen Spies,
sister OF August Spies, went out to Jeffer.
son, secured the proxy from Justice Engle-
hardt, and went direct to thecounty Jail with
it. They met the wife OF Spies brother, Fer

Handt's three companions witnessed the
signature ofSpies to the document, by which
he gave full auth GRITTY to his brother. Henry
